Andrew Luck smiled, joked with teammates and looked more comfortable than anybody on a jam-packed Stanford practice field for the school's pro day.

Leave it to everyone else to stress about their draft position.

Projected to go No. 1 overall to the Indianapolis Colts in the NFL draft, Luck was one of a dozen former Cardinal players Thursday who tried to impress more than 125 league scouts and executives. Of more importance to the quarterback was making his teammates shine, even if it meant braving the elements on an unseasonably chilly and windy day in Stanford, Calif.

“I think I'm in a very unique position. I feel very fortunate,” Luck said. “Obviously nothing is set in stone, but I should be drafted pretty high. Maybe a pro day is not going to hurt or help me as much as some other guys on our team.”

Luck completed 46 of 50 passes, and three of those incompletions were drops by his receivers, including a perfect 70-yard-plus spiral that Chris Owusu mishandled in the end zone — the final pass of the day, requested by scouts to test Luck's arm strength, which might be about the only thing some have questioned.

The Colts did send a small contingent to Stanford that didn't include owner Jim Irsay. Washington owner Dan Snyder and coach Mike Shanahan were among those at Stanford, and Luck said he met with them a night earlier. The Redskins have the No. 2 pick.

Saints consider coaching options: A person familiar with the situation says there are three strong candidates on the Saints staff to step in as interim coach after the NFL suspended Sean Payton for a year: defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr. and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.

As the Saints try to regroup from penalties handed down by the league for running a bounty program, the person said it's still too early to tell how reassignments on the coaching staff and in the front office will shake out.
